Derby County's chief executive Sam Rush believes Paul Clement is the ideal fit for the club.
Clement, who has worked alongside Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, PSG and , was appointed by the Rams on Monday.
Rush said: “Paul Clement is a hugely talented individual, a young coach, but he has achieved a lot in last decade or more. We know he's had an unusual journey through football, but he's been working in football since day one, and his achievements have been enormous."
After failing to make the grade in professional football, Clement began coaching at 23 in Chelsea's centre of excellence in 1996 while he held at job as a PE teacher.
Clement, 43, then moved onto Fulham as an academy coach before he moving on to work with the Republic of Ireland Under-21 team. He later returned to Chelsea before moving onto to work for Blackburn, PSG and Real Madrid.
